Nokia Lumia 625 review
Another week, another Lumia. This latest grenade thrown by Nokia in its continued assault on the smartphone market is the Lumia 625. Following up on its previous high-end devices -- the good-looking one, the one with the fancy camera -- the 625 is a soldier of lower rank. There's already an army of budget Windows Phones that fill various niches, so what's the deal? Well, despite the number on its dog tag, the 625 is far from a Lumia 620 variant: it's a completely different phone. For starters, it sports the biggest screen of any Lumia to date (for now, anyway). Actually, make that any Nokia phone ever made. But the real reason it exists has nothing to do with the display size; it's all about the 4G radio hiding away inside. Does LTE, plus a big screen and eyebrow-raising price tag, make it worth your while, though?
Nokia Lumia 625 leaked, suggests 4.7-inch display, 1.2GHz dual-core CPU, 5-megapixel cam and LTE (update)
It looks like that "Something Big" that Nokia was hinting about earlier this morning might turn out to be the Nokia Lumia 625, if this leak by Finnish publication Puhelinvertailu is to be believed. The specs appear to match what was revealed a few days ago on China's certification site; it'll apparently sport a 4.7-inch Gorilla Glass 2 IPS WVGA (800 x 480) LCD, a 1.2-GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor, 512MB RAM and a 2,000mAh battery. The leak also hints at a rear 5-megapixel camera with 1080p recording, a front-facing VGA shooter, Bluetooth 4.0 LE and interestingly, an LTE variant with support for European bands (though we wouldn't rule out North American support later down the line). It's difficult to say exactly how the phone will actually look like up close, however, so it's a good thing we'll be up bright and early tomorrow at 9am UK time (4am Eastern) to see Nokia's unveiling. Update: An additional image of the alleged Nokia Lumia 625, which we've embedded after the break, has just surfaced on @evleaks' Twitter feed. Unfortunately, this latest render tell us nothing new about the handset apart from Nokia's continued design practice of colorful polycarbonate shells. Update 2: @evleaks isn't done posting Lumia 625 pics just yet apparently, as he's just tweeted yet another render of Nokia's latest, but this time in a cascading arrangement. You can take a look at it after the break. Update 3: Yep, there's another Lumia 625 image from @evleaks, and that's after the break as well.
